In this insightful episode of Overcome: A Mental Health Podcast, host Travis White sits down with Phillip Quinones, a passionate therapist and mental health coach with a background in clinical counseling psychology. From growing up with a uniquely mature perspective to discovering his calling through unexpected twists, Phillip shares his powerful journey into the mental health field.
Together, they dive deep into:
- The real role of a therapist: not a healer, but a guide for change
- The five stages of change and how they apply to daily life
- Tools Phillip uses with clients to manage anxiety and depression
- Why therapy sometimes doesn’t work—and how to find the right fit
- How to ask for help and create the support system you need
- Breaking down stigma: why we still misunderstand mental health
This episode isn’t just about therapy—it’s about what it means to be human, to hurt, to want more, and to finally step into the possibility of change.
